About Public Figure: Public Figure is an alternative pop-rock band whose focus has been writing with the exclusive purpose of making their songs catchy and fun for themselves and their audience. With influences ranging from The Strokes and Red Hot Chili Peppers to Maroon 5, their debut singles “Poor and Pretty,” “Better Sleep,” and “Hollywood” have galvanized their local scene in Omaha, Nebraska, leading to multiple sold-out shows and a crowd that is obsessed with their art and personalities.
The band is comprised of four permanent members whose work ethic and experience in previous acts are now combined in a focused and potent team – Dolan Delano (bass) founded the band in 2019, and through a few lineup changes, has brought RJ Klingsporn (guitar) and John Faist (drums) into the band from their previous project Chasing Chance. Together with Roger Slatten (vocals), formerly of Letterbox, they have established a cult following in Omaha and surrounding major cities such as Des Moines, Kansas City, Sioux City, Lincoln, and Minneapolis. It is not uncommon to see crowds of 200-600 at shows where Public Figure plays – their personal draw in Omaha at shows they play once or twice a year can be upwards of 300+ on their own.
Public Figure is a band that strives to make music their lifelong career. To that end, they are willing to do the work required to make a lifelong impact on the industry and emotionally connect with our ever-growing fanbase. The band has recently released a unique live acoustic rendition of their glossy single “Hollywood.” The new version puts a refreshing spin to the original track. “This is “Hollywood” by Public Figure except this time, it’s raw, live, and acoustic. Big thanks to The Green Room Sessions by The Broccoli Creative Collective for making this live recording session happen.” The band expands on the new sound to the single. Hear the live version on streaming platform December 6.
